( 2 ) Cooperation of neighbours much required in rooting out stimulant drugs
Secretary-1 attends Special Meeting on Drugs Elimination in Border Areas
Yangon, 23 July - The Special Meeting on Drugs Elimination in Border Areas
was held at the meeting hall of the Ministry of Home Affairs at 4 pm today,
with an address by Secretary-1 of the State Peace and Development Council
Lt-Gen Khin Nyunt.
First, CCDAC Chairman Minister for Home Affairs Col Tin Hlaing reported on
tasks being carried out for elimination of narcotic drugs in border areas and
arrangements for establishing opium free zones. Then, those present discussed
supplementary reports on drugs elimination tasks in border areas. After
hearing the reports, the Secretary-1 delivered an address. The Secretary-1
said accelerated efforts are being made in carrying out the on-going narcotic
drugs elimination tasks in Myanmar, leading to a significant reduction in the
opium poppy cultivation.
The stimulant tablets produced from chemical agents have appeared at present.
Chemicals are the base raw materials in producing the stimulant drugs. The
nation is not able to produce the chemicals which are entering Myanmar from
her neighbouring countries. Thus, cooperation of the neighbours is much
required in rooting out the stimulant drugs. Due to the government's ardent
efforts in implementing its 15-year narcotic drugs elimination plan and
participation of the national races with objectives to wipe out the drugs,
there was significant downfall in opium poppy cultivation in the nation.
The government and the national race leaders are rendering assistance and
launching public organization campaign to root out poppy cultivation in
border areas. Hence, the poppy farmers are handing over their poppy seeds to
the local authorities of their own volition. The poppy seeds thus handed over
were destroyed in Lashio, Laukkai and towns in eastern Shan State. More such
seeds will be destroyed later. The government had destroyed the seized
narcotic drugs in Yangon the previous month. The State is launching the drug
elimination task not for show. It is drawing systematic plans with the firm
objective of totally rooting out the drug problem. The government and the
national races are harmoniously striving to eradicate the drug menace. It is
required to render assistance for success of the agriculture and livestock
breeding businesses of the national races to totally end the practise of
poppy cultivation. Despite the slanderous accusations concerning the drugs,
the government will continue to strive to realize its drug eradication goal,
the Secretary-1 said. Then, the meeting came to a close.
